Lulu, the red-eared slider

Lulu, the red-eared slider

Posted on by Sharon King

Lulu is a 5-inch-long red-eared slider, probably female, and around 8 years old. These creatures need a clean place to swim and a sunny place to bask and rest. They are omnivores--they eat both greens and small creatures like worms, crickets, and tiny fish or pinky mice. If given a good home, Lulu could live for another 10-12 years!

Dulce, the baby green iguana

Dulce, the baby green iguana

Posted on by Sharon King

Dulce is a juvenile green iguana on the youngish side (probably about four months old). We think she is female--but iguanas show their dimorphism later on so be prepared for anything! Iguanas are herbivores and need non-oxalic leaves for food like kale, collards, and mustard greens plus lots of other fruit and veg for a good diet. They need sun and humidity and can get quite large. Recommended for experienced reptile keepers.
